Screen Junkies publishes an Honest Trailer of this summer’s Warcraft film, lampooning the movie’s large cast of characters and unsatisfying ending sequence. The Warcraft film was, from the very beginning, an overly ambitious project. The lore in the Warcraft universe is so deep and complex that even the first film made about it saw many people having to rely on Warcraft character guides to understand the premise. While that steep learning curve wasn’t enough to keep people out of theatres - Warcraft became the most successful video game movie ever this summer - it was enough to generate some mixed reviews from critics who weren’t necessarily the diehard fans the movie felt as though it was marketed towards....

The year was 1957 and crime rocked the headlines. Elvis Presley swiveled prison stripes in Jailhouse Rock. Mary Elizabeth Wilson, the Merry Widow of Windy Nook, gave beetle poison to the last of her quartet of husbands. The Barbershop Quintet took too much off the top of gangland’s Lord High Executioner Albert Anastasia. The body of the 3-to-6-year-old Boy in the Box was found in Philadelphia. But they were all eclipsed by “Weird Ed,” a quiet, unassuming man from Wisconsin farm country....
Both Stephen King’s The Shining and Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 film adaptation are monumental works in their respective fields. King’s book is an engrossing read and one of the bestselling horror novels ever written, while Kubrick’s film is a masterpiece of horror cinema, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the genre’s most iconic works. While both the novel and the movie have a lot of merit, the movie is arguably a much stronger work of horror....

This article contains spoilers for the ending of The Umbrella Academy season 3. As far as Umbrella Academy finales go, season 3’s “Oblivion” is unusually, well…final. With the respective conclusions of its first two seasons, The Umbrella Academy finished on chaotic, potentially world-threatening cliffhangers that would need immediate addressing at the top of the following season. Reginald Hargreeves seemingly achieves one of his biggest goals and his “children” get the opportunity to start their lives over, albeit without the crutch of their powers....

This The Walking Dead review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 14 After The Walking Dead spent so much time building up The Commonwealth as a place where dreams can come true, it was only a matter of time for the truth behind the veneer to start showing.

This Walking Dead article contains spoilers. It’s the only way the opening act of the final season of The Walking Dead could end: with the fall of one villain and the rise of another. Taking a page out of Alpha’s playbook, Maggie, Negan, and Gabriel lead a walker horde into enemy territory, while Daryl does his best to support them from within the Reapers’ walls.
